1. I won't touch that last sentence

B-)

[Caution]

2. this is one that has puzzled me for a while.

up until i hit college in about 1991 it was Urine-as, then all of a sudden everyone started referring to the planet as Your-Anus. What happened there? Am I wrong in this sudden change? Did anyone experience the opposite?

[EOTE]

7. I experienced the opposite...

I started noticing the change around '94. Of course, I was just entering high school at the time.

[KCDem]

9. opposite for me, too.

Therefore, I usually say "your-anus" now.

[Ediacara]

4. NEITHER

oo-RAH-noose

That's the correct way to pronounce the vowels, plus, the other ways you list are just dirty dirty dirty!

5. Or...

That planet was originally named after King George III.

Maybe fitting, considering these times.

According to Webster's both yoor e nes and yoo ra nes are correct. I learned in Latin and astronomy classes that yoor e nes were correct

Sort of a question of how you will pronouce uranium

20. No preference. Both #1 AND #2 seem to be natural and absolutely

essential. Do we have a choice?

Astrologically speaking that is.

[Clete]

21. Who cares.

As long as we all know what is being said. Although your-anus was the most used pronounciation of that planet until some sophomores heard a double-entendre in it. Teehee*hides mouth behind hand*

I must go to bed.

[Ashes]

22. I prefer not to think about it.

thanks a bunch for catching my attention.

29. My View

I know many young people today called the seventh planet Urine-us. But, I'm from the old school, and I prefer Your-anus.

30. "The Planet U"...

although the correct terminology is "Urine-us".
